XHTML and CSS

trying to resolve a problem with CSS in an XHTML document

Hi there,

I'm having a problem with an XML document created by WordPress.

I'm trying to create an in-page popup, using DHTML. I initially programmed the thing in plain old HTML and got it working fine, but when I inserted the code into the document I couldn't persuade it to work. After some tinkering I discovered that removing the DOCTYPE header (describing it as XHTML) made it work. I have two versions here:

Open the popup by clicking the "Submission guidelines here" link at the bottom of the right hand side.

I figure that it's something to do with the css attributes I've given to the popup div working differently in XHTML

Why not just declare your page as HTML4 if that works?
